Please note that some of our alumni have taken advantage of these fellowships in the past and have found them to be extremely rewarding! We list two here:

1) The East Asia Pacific Summer Institute (Note that Dr. Alexis Harryman, UMBC Biology, participated in this fellowship. She loved it and was a spokeperson for the seminar a few years ago. Alex participated in the Meyerhoff Graduate Fellows Program, and in PROMISE. )

2) The National Physical Science Consortium. (Note that we’ve had NPSC scholars in the past. This deadline in Nov. 30.)

Please pay attention to these important opportunities! Congratulations to all of you who have submitted your NSF GRFP, GEM, Ford Foundation, and NIH applications! We’re so proud of you for working hard. Several members of our community have won these awards in the past. We also thank PROMISE Alums Dr. Frances Carter-Johnson and Dr. Patti Ordóñez Rozo for working with so many of you over the past several months, both during their fellowship seminar, and on their own time. Thanks also to the Graduate School at College Park for their fellowships seminar. Good luck everyone!
